Sen. Salazar: 'Water Situation in Alamosa is Very Troubling' DENVER, CO - Today, United States Senator Ken Salazar released the following statement in response to the current drinking water restriction in place in Alamosa. Currently, the entire community is under a water restriction due to an outbreak of salmonella sickness. “I am very troubled by the drinking water situation in Alamosa. The risk that a possible contamination is currently imposing on the health and well being of thousands of residents is worrisome. I will do whatever I can at the federal level working with state and local authorities to get to the bottom of this, ensuring that residents have access to the care they may need and restoring safe drinking water to the Alamosa community as quickly as possible.” ###
